Mo Chi gently shook his head.

"No."

"But I'm determined to take King Cheng's life today!"

"Do you think my secret guards are just for show?" Ye Ling retorted.

In an instant.

All the guards appeared in front of Mo Chi.

"I know he's not the number one assassin."

"Even so, with so many guards in front of you, even if you are both strong, you can't fight them off. I'd like to see how capable you are of escaping."

“I never intended to escape. After killing King Cheng, I will naturally atone with my death.”

"Oh?" Ye Xin asked.

"Could there be some reason behind this?"

"Even if you're going to kill me, at least let me die knowing why. What's your reason for killing me? What deep-seated hatred do we have for each other?"

Mo Chi: "Of course!"

"Everyone says that King Cheng had the people in his heart, but I would like to ask, was King Cheng doing this intentionally, or did he truly have the world in his heart?"

"That depends on how you see me. How you see me is entirely up to you."

"Why don't you tell me how I am hypocritical in your eyes, putting on a show for others while secretly exploiting them?"

King Cheng remained calm and composed.

With a calm expression, he countered Mo Chi's question.

This left Mo Chi speechless.

King Cheng spoke slowly.

"I knew you were coming to kill me."

"Then why didn't you take precautions?"

"Because I know that you don't really want to kill me; you just want an answer."

Xu Qingzhi had already come to warn them in advance.

Tell King Cheng about the illusion Ye Qianqian saw.

Mo Chi wanted to kill King Cheng, but he couldn't bring himself to do it.

In short...

He only wanted to ask King Cheng one question.
